I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Airbnb in Oct 2018
Interview
Expect multiple rounds of challenging (and interesting) problem solving questions. They are all coding questions but the problems aren't strictly algorithms/data structures and each involve more thinking/innovation than some more common questions that you may have seen. Airbnb expects you to write functional code - not just pseudocode or half-way functional code. Additionally you will need to interview with a non-engineer in a cross-functional interview to determine how well you will fit into the company culture/environment.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Write a solver for the mastermind board game. Requires communicating with a server that accepts as input your peg configuration and provides the output that the mastermind board game would give for that configuration.
Simulate pouring water over terrain, i.e. determine where some amount of water would settle given the terrain and a point to pour from. The terrain is represented as a 1-d list of integers that represented the height of the terrain at each index.
“Three rounds in total. After a short recruiter screen, I had two 45-minute technical coding interviews on Zoom/CoderPad (data structures, algorithms, edge cases, complexity) followed by one 45-minute cross-team values interview focused on collaboration, ownership, communication, and product sense. No heavy system design. All interviews were virtual, interviewers were friendly and left time for questions. The process took about two weeks from scheduling to decision.
